For 4 marks or 7 ?
7 mark or the question comes like this the Montague Chelmsford reforms were more important then any other political developments between 1909 and 1919 do you agree or disagree give reasons for your answer . 14 markFor 4 marks or 7 ?
why did sir syed ahmed khan write ' the causes of indian revolts 1875' ? (7)
thank you sooo much. appreciate it.1. british blamed the war on muslims and carried out worst atrocities on them (elaborate this)
2. muslims themselves started to consider british their arch-enemy and hated them. so ssak wanted to improve relations b/w them and explained to the british the actual reasons that sparked WOI. (elaborate this too)
3. since british were determined to degrade and destroy muslims, non muslims powers started to rise in the sub-continent especially hindus, which worried ssak about the fate of muslims. (elaborate)
Re: HISTORY Rare questions !!
hello guys i am new in this forum
i read all the questions and tried to solve them
however i have a little confusion
in the mark scheme it is said that u get top level ( level 3 in 7 marks and level 3 or 4 in 14 marks question) if you explain reasons. but the real question is that can uget the top marks without describing the events by just explaining it(this is what i do) or do u first have to describe then explain it, u see for most questions the explanation is further explanation of descriptions. However for questions about reforms 1909-1919 and 1940-1947, they are different as u can see below.
so do u have to give whole provisions of these reforms or just explain how the reforms were important?????
please reply and if anyone give an answer please do so.
(c) Were the Morley-Minto reforms the most important attempt by either the Muslims, the
Hindus or the British in seeking a solution to the problems in the sub-continent
between 1906 and 1920? Explain your answer.
Level 1: Simplistic statement [1-2]
Morley was the Secretary for State for India and Minto was the Viceroyof
India.
Level 2: Description of above [3-6]
The Imperial Council was enlarged to 60 members and the Provisional
Councils to 50 members in the larger states and 30 in the smaller ones.
Level 3: Explains one factor [7-10]
Level 4: Explains at least two factors (M-M to be explained for [9-13]
maximum marks)
The Morley-Minto Reforms became law in 1909 as the Indian Councils Act.
The importance of the Councils which were enlarged was to ensure that
Indian legislators were given a chance to express their opinions. The
British also accepted the right of Muslims to have a separate electorate.
However there were other attempts to solve the problems in the sub-
continent during these years. The Lucknow Pact of 1916 as an agreement
between the Muslims and Hindus which placed a number of political
demands to the British government in an attempt to show a united front and
produce common aims. Little was done by the British government about
the sub-continent during the First World War but shortly afterwards in 1919
came the Montague-Chelmsford Reforms. These Reforms disappointed
the Muslims and Hindus as they had hoped for greater concessions.
Central government reserved sweeping powers for itself with only minor
concessions for the locals. The Reforms did hold out concessions to
political parties provided that they accepted the right of the British to remain
in control. The Rowlatt Act of the same year increased the resentment of
the political parties by including the right of arrest without a warrant and
detention without bail.
Level 5: As Level 4: also produces a judgement or evaluation [14]
